Hazard and Risk Analysis of Main Dam Work of Rukoh Dam Construction Project Pidie Regency

The construction of the dam project poses a significant risk of workplace accidents, particularly due to the inherent dangers associated with large-scale construction. One such incident occurred at the Karaloe Dam site in South Sulawesi in 2019, resulting in the tragic death of a heavy equipment operator who fell from a height of 85 meters along with his machinery. This study aims to identify hazards and conduct a risk assessment of workplace accidents affecting construction, workers, communities, and the environment in the Main Dam Works of the Rukoh Dam Construction Project, Pidie Regency. The determination of hazards is qualitative, employing a case study approach through direct field observation. The Identification of Hazards Risk Assessment Determination of Risk Control and Opportunities (IBPRP) method is used, along with the determination of risk levels based on the risk matrix outlined in Minister of PUPR Regulation Number 10 of 2021. The analysis yielded 23 potential hazards, comprising 14 moderate-risk categories and 9 high-risk categories. However, following control measures such as engineering solutions, administrative protocols, and the utilization of personal protective equipment, the overall potential hazards have been mitigated to a low-risk level. The potential hazard with the highest risk level at the worksite is exposure to tire blowouts from heavy vehicles, specifically dump trucks.Keywords: Project Main Dam, Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, Risk Level
